Hi, Scott.
Arm, IBM86,  Power PC, etc are processor types not packages. You'll need to find the processor familly which your system belongs to. Usually your home pc should belong to something like I386, I586, (I686, etc...
What version of Partition Magic do you have? Resizing your drive with it really is not dificult.

  Hello folks, I don't know if I've just done a step wrong, butt, when I tried to pull up the installation manual for debian on their web site, it gives me a choice of different languages, and then what looks like different types of packages, like arm, ibmx86, power pc, and so on.  I've selected the united states server, and my languages are set to united states in my brouser.  I'm not sure which manual to start reading.  When I click the link that says it should bring up the right manual, it provides this language and then the packages page.  Also, I'm having trouble finding cips to run under ms dos, and looking at partition magics interface is making me nervice.  I don't want to make a mistake early on.  Can someone give me some pointers here, thanks, Scott
